Science-Based Benefits
Scientific study has resulted in the development of redlight therapy, which effectively restores muscle tissue and improves performance. These wavelengths have been demonstrated to be bioactive, meaning they influence the functioning of our cells, by using components of the light emitted by the sun.
Reduces Pain and Inflammation
Studies have confirmed that Red Light Therapy can improve a variety of chronic pain symptoms and conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia.
By reducing inflammation, boosting collagen synthesis and regenerating cartilage, Redlight Therapy has been shown to effectively treat symptoms of degenerative osteoarthritis and inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis, headaches and migraines.
One study treated fibromyalgia sufferers with red light therapy three times a week. Not only did they have reduced pain at the end of the study, but fatigue had substantially decreased too.
Better Deeper Sleep
Red Light Therapy can help regulate your natural circadian rhythm and help you fall asleep more easily. Red Light helps the mind and body to wind down and encourages the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. A 2012 study found that 30 minutes of Red Light Therapy each night for two weeks improved sleep quality and blood levels of melatonin.
Improves Exercise Performance and Recovery
When used after physical activity, Red Light Therapy can improve blood circulation and oxygenation in muscle tissue to prevent delayed onset muscle soreness and speed up muscle repair and growth. Research suggests that Red Light Therapy can: Improve muscle strength, Reduce muscle fatigue, Reduce muscle damage, Lower lactic acid production
Improves Skin
Red Light therapy boosts blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells to encourage healing, reduce inflammation and increases the production of collagen.
A 2014 study found that participants who underwent two weekly sessions of Red Light Therapy saw significant improvements in their complexion. Research has also confirmed that Red Light Therapy can improve the skin by healing and reducing: Acne, Scars, Burns, Sun damage and Skin discolouration
A 2010 study on treatment-resistant psoriasis sufferers found that two 20-minute Red Light Therapy sessions resulted in a 60 – 100% reduction in psoriasis.
Increases Wound Healing
Research has found that Red Light Therapy can help reduce tissue inflammation, encourage the formation of new blood vessels and tissues and improve collagen levels. A 2014 study on patients recovering from heart surgery found that Red Light Therapy reduced pain and bleeding and increased wound healing.
Improves Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is whereby high blood sugar causes nerve damage. Red Light Therapy could provide relief and improve quality of life by boosting circulation and reducing pain and cell damage. Research has shown that Red Light therapy significantly reduce symptoms when applied to the feet of sufferers for fifteen minutes three times per week.
Improves Hair Growth
Red Light Therapy is a safe, natural and effective way to encourage hair growth in men and women. A 2014 study on women with alopecia found that using red light therapy every other day for 25 minutes resulted in a 37% increase in hair growth.
Improves Eye Health
Red Light Therapy has been shown to improve vision in people with age-related macular degeneration.
Improves Thyroid Function
Red Light Therapy may be a great natural treatment for those with hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) and Hashimoto’s. A 2013 study found that Redlight Therapy improved thyroid function and reduced autoimmune thyroid antibodies.
Better Brain Health
Red Light penetrates deep into the body, and has been shown to improve learning, memory, reaction times and mood.
